Time to Give Up

I have decided to give up!

There are several factors here.

My eye sight is getting worse and extended computer use is making it worse. Too many years of being in the IT industry and over use of my eyes.

After being away in UK and then returning to China I have my second apartment set up and such a beautiful area. All I want to do is hike there and not sit at a computer day and night fighting with the technicalities of running a website.

Final straw, is the Chinese government has virtually shut any international access down to a bare minimum. VPNs blocked, my HSBC bank, Barclaycard, Paypal etc. Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, all blocked. This is in addition to the usual blocks on Facebook, YouTube, and now What's App. They need a VPN to work and the VPN's are blocked. (My main VPN supplier Express VPN has 100 servers and they are all blocked, they are working hard to try to circumvent this). Any search search using the word VPN is blocked too.

This is all due the 5 year political session which starts next week. So this will last for 3 weeks.

So I have decided to quit this idea of running a website and go hiking away from this stress. I will maybe sell my website, albeit in its infancy or just shut it down.

This is great forum and a fantastic set of supportive people. Thanks to everyone for all the support I have had.

Politics is making it harder and harder to access freedom; It is starting to happen more and more in the United States, as well.

You are so right Mickey. The world got smaller and a whole lot more complicated. Travel has become much harder in some respects and easier in others.

Cheers and best wishes on your new adventures
Take loads of photographs and perhaps you may comeback to WA after a year or so.......... ( who knows )
Than you can do a blog on travelling through China
Cheers again and take care

Thanks.

The best of luck Alan, stay safe.

Thanks Billy.

You are very welcome. Enjoy your hiking experiences.

Alan,
Enjoy your adventures and stay safe. I've been reducing my computer time because of eye strain. Taking care of our health, which includes stress management is number one. All the best,
Debbie

Thanks Debbie.

Pray that things ease up after your sojourn. A lot of things change with the wind in China!

Yes that is very true. It's current direction is mysterious. That's all I am allowed to say from here.

You're right not to jeopardise your eyes any further they are too precious. I hope you enjoy the peace and beauty of hiking.

Thanks.

You aren’t really quitting, you’re just taking your life in a new direction. Good luck in the days ahead!

Nice way of putting it. Thanks.

I know where you are coming from, I am travelling frequently to China, and a lot of things you can not use. Google is also one of them. Internet will be shut down again to the bare minimum. As usual. Have fun hiking.

Thanks.

Hi Alan, I don't blame you. There are a lot of negative issues that you have, and it's not worth it.

Enjoy your hiking and have a stress free life :)

Thanks.

I could understand your decision, I hope the best for you.

Thanks.
